said the New York Yankees couldn't win a game without hitting a home run? It took them 64 games, but the Bronx Bombers finally managed to squeak out a win without the benefit of the long ball.

A timely hit by Mark Teixeira in the top of the 14th inning finally broke the deadlocked score between the Yanks and Washington Nationals. Mr. Low Average himself, Tex ripped an RBI double down the right field line to end an at-bat that featured home-plate umpire Tim Timmons stretching his strike zone.

Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News announced the Bombers' achievement via Twitter.
